[Snow White, per the norm, is surrounded by animals who seem to be organizing things for Snow. Snow has a bright red something draped across her lap, it is very clearly fabric but what it looks like otherwise is unclear.

Why hello there! Oh my goodness! I really must thank Madam Generosity for such a lovely gown! I've never felt more like a princess! And it's my favorite color! I wonder how she even knew!

Did anyone else receive a gift from her? No wonder her name is Madam Generosity! She's so wonderfully kind! It puts everyone in a better state of mind.

Actually! If I may have just a moment of your time, might you be able to answer a question of mine?

Does anyone else have people constantly dropping off things on their doorstep or lingering just outside your home?

I don't mean for Christmas time, rather outside of that? I don't really mind, and, truly, no one has been unkind!

I even got something on my birthday and no one has ever given me a birthday present before! Or at least, I think it was a birthday present. [Snow turns to her birds who seem to SHRUG. They don't know either.]

People keep leaving me all sorts of things on my doorstep.

It's becoming a bit difficult to keep up with sending thank you gifts in return!

Is anyone else experiencing this? Should I be concerned?

[It is something humans say, but Snow is from the 1500s, she has no idea what that slang implies.]

Well I'm glad they like me, I'm just not sure who they are. When I try to approach them they leave.

That seems a little creepy.

That would be why I asked if anyone else is dealing with this.

Do you need someone to ask them to stop? I know we've literally just met, but I'm sure anyone would.

Oh! That is so kind of you! So then, you don't have this situation? Do you think I should tell them to stop?

No, I don't. Sounds to me like they're being a bunch of weirdoes. I'm not too sure you should go out and talk to them, actually, maybe let someone else do that...

[Someone intimidating? Is Michael intimidating? God, he knows he used to be able to do scary...]

Do you think I should be worried?

Ohhhhhhh...well. I don't know.

[He sort of does, but is it gonna help if he just like, says that?]

But I'd definitely keep an eye on it. Gifts between friends are one thing, but a bunch of gifts to a stranger... [Feels weird as hell?]

Perhaps I should return the gifts, then? But when I return the gifts, they cry.

Well...I understand that probably makes you feel bad. [Hell, at this point in his life it would probably make him feel bad.] But you have to think about yourself too, you know? Can't prioritize other peoples' feelings entirely.

The only reason I even know who gave them to me is that my animal friends outside of the house see it happening. They never seem to do it when I am home.

That's pretty weird.

[.....]

You can talk to animals?

Oh yes! I've not yet met an animal I couldn't speak to!

Huh. Neat. [...] Well, maybe you could get a guard dog, or something.

Oh, I do not think I need a guard dog, my friends are very protective of me.

...but it's still happening.

Well, of course, I didn't ask them to stop anyone before.

[Kinda seems like they would've just done it themselves, if she's got a bunch of creepy stalkers, but okay]

You think you're gonna?

[They're very well behaved per her request. They have to be lest they get attacked for just being bears and wolves and other predators in Crenshaw.]

W-Well, everyone has been saying they're dangerous. And if they're dangerous, I should do my best to avoid them. [But Snow has a hard time turning people away if they are in genuine need or at least APPEAR to be in need. It's what got her in trouble the first time.]

But I'm not actively seeking them out. It seems they keep seeking ME out.

...guess you could move. That doesn't really seem fair to you, though.

[Like, it's their problem, why should she have to uproot?]

Oh... I guess... that is an option. [She tries not to show how much the idea upsets her, especially she finally has a home of her own and she's never had that before.] When I was staying in a cave in the woods, they certainly didn't know about me then.

I suppose I could go back to that.

Ugh - no, don't do that! I mean, at least get an airhorn or something first!

An airhorn? What is an airhorn?

Like for coyotes. A friend of mine used to live where there were a lot of them - you'd just blow the horn, if they were there when you went out, and the noise would scare them off.

[He'd sort of been speaking off the cuff there, alarmed by the cave thing, but:]

I mean, you could do that. Or get a hose.

Coyotes? I don't know what that is either. But I suppose I could get a horn. I've never learned to play it before, though. Though, I've never heard of a horn scaring people off. Is the airhorn a very scary-sounding horn?
